They are generally quick to learn, provide a sense of accomplishment, develop teamwork, provide drug information, and most students have fun doing them. They also provide an excellent opportunity for students to be exposed to being in front of an audience without having the pressure of learning a lengthy presentation.

Short skits can be a great addition to many substance abuse related activities conducted by your group or to supplement an event another organization is putting on. We have found them useful before an alcohol presentation, to community groups, at PTA meetings, during DARE graduations, and at parent training programs.
